Air separator warning light stays on or comes on and then won’t go off?

Air separator warning light stays on or comes on and then won’t go off?

Overdriven air sep­a­ra­tor with ball at com­plete top. The flow should be reduced so the ball indi­ca­tor hov­ers just under the 10.

If the warn­ing light is stay­ing on when you use your air sep­a­ra­tor, your air sep­a­ra­tor ‘flow knob’ set­ting is prob­a­bly over adjust­ed. It only takes about 10 sec­onds to fix this one, but it can take 20–30 min­utes of addi­tion­al time run­ning the air sep­a­ra­tor for the dys­func­tion­al light and/or alarm to reset.

Symptoms:

Amber Oxygen sen­sor light won’t go off

To Troubleshoot:

Dial Flow meter back so ball is rest­ing at 9 1/2, just under the ‘10’ (Or 4 1/2 if a 5L

Let unit run for 30 addi­tion­al min­utes to give unit time to reset

Please also check the fol­low­ing oth­er poten­tial issues that could cause the warn­ing light to go on:

Air Separator should be plugged into ded­i­cat­ed cir­cuit that is sep­a­rate from oth­er major appli­ances (refrig­er­a­tor, AC, etc)

Air Separator should NOT be con­nect­ed to out­let using pow­er strip,surge pro­tec­tor or an exten­sion cord

All hoses from Air Separator to Reservoir need to be free from ‘kinks’ or bends so that air may flow freely

Air Separator should have a min­i­mum space around the perime­ter so oper­a­tion and air intake will not be imped­ed

Air Separator should be used in a clean envi­ron­ment with even tem­per­a­tures

*Please note* If you live at a high­er alti­tude and have a refur­bished air sep­a­ra­tor, there is a chance that your air sep­a­ra­tor may be hav­ing issues per­form­ing opti­mal­ly at a high­er alti­tude. If this is the case, you may con­tact us to inquire about ser­vice options.

This 1 minute video shows how to trou­bleshoot and cor­rect for the prob­lem of the flow knob being ‘over­ad­just­ed’.
